Out Knight, Gordon
In Deledio C Ellis
Gordon had a pretty good game. He won't be dropped.
-
INS: Deledio
OUTS: Knights
-
Agree will bring in Lids out the expense of Knights
-
Knights out and Lids in if fit. If not would like to see Lennon or Ellis get a crack.
I would absolutely love both Lennon and Lids in but don't know who if Coach Hardwick will drop someone to accommodate Lennon. Maybe we can drop lloyd?

Lids won't play for a while

the bald one reckons lids will be out for about 5 more weeks.

Agree that Knights is an obvious out & the best 'in' would be Lids - if possible. If not Lids, then Lennon would be up for a game. There wont be many changes after a big win so don't expect 6-8 changes.
A less obvious change is to our mentality! Melbourne like to get every player within 50mtrs of the ball, drawing their opponents in with them & reducing the game to a scrappy all-in brawl. We have to be ready for a man-on-man slog with little space around the ball & the Bulldogs game showed we don't cope well with that style. We need to find a love for congested footy that we haven't really shown yet, Brisbane did nothing to clog us up but Melbourne will be completely different. Our numbers for contested possessions have been pretty reasonable so far, we are capable of slogging it out man-on-man & winning contests, but other than the Bulldogs no other side has committed to the mob mentality that Roos coached sides employ as a default clause. This shouldn't come as a surprise to us, all we need to do is to expect it & be ready for it!
The Ant Hill Mob style of footy is a shocking style but Roos loves it & has made a coaching career out of being utterly negative, its the cheapest way to get competitive games out of a third rate bunch of hacks, so we need to be ready for it. There will be plenty of space to run & spread into if we go long by foot & get it outside of their defensive bubble.

Funny how RFCO just shut down the Lids rumour on PRE.

The rolling maul is going to be back on maximum overdrive.....

The Barometer - Round 4
Herald-Sun
April 20, 2015
ON THE BLOCK: Not many candidates here but if someone has to make way Sam Lloyd is in the most danger after starting as the sub. Nathan Gordon and Kamdyn McIntosh are others around the fringe who might be a little nervous. Chris Knights is a certain omission after yet another injury — let’s hope this one isn’t too serious.
ON THE CUSP: Deledio has missed two matches with a calf injury and will try to prove his fitness this week. Not a lot of pressure pushing up from lower levels with Richmond’s VFL side defeated by Coburg. Ty Vickery kicked three goals and Ben Lennon two.
AL PATON’S FORECAST: Like North Melbourne a week before, the Tigers did what they had to do — smash a Brisbane team that was barely competitive for stretches of Saturday night’s contest. Unlike the Roos, Richmond doesn’t face a premiership contender the next week. Instead, it has the chance to atone for the low point of last season, a loss to Melbourne in a game that was supposed to pay tribute to the late Tom Hafey. The Tigers will need to make the most of a friendly early draw before facing the Kangas and Geelong.

Why the hell would McIntosh be nervous? LOL
Even Sam Lloyd's output has been much improved this year, a lot more run and effort.
Would still axe Newman personally. Good game or not, he's taking a development spot. If we were pushing for a top-4 finish and he was best-22 then sure keep him. But we're not going to be near the mark this year so he's stifling the development of a younger kid.
Out:
Knights
Newman
In:
Lids (if available)
Lennon
Ellis (if no Lids)

Will be interesting to see if Cotch gets helped by his team mates when he is relentlessly tagged, scragged and bagged by melb
-
Elevate the biscuit and get him to block for Cotch.
-
Honestly we just need a bunch of C grade hacks who can take a bloke or two clean out of the game.
On base wage, tell him he gets $10k bonus (performance incentive?) if he knocks his target out for the rest of the match.
Knocks out Vince this week, does 6-8 weeks suspended, comes back and does it again.
Blokes will get the idea and stop clinging onto Cotchin like an infant koala.

Not a bad idea but before you know it club will be fined or something will be done.... It's not in the spirit of the game really either.
Let's be fair dinkum though, if Cotchin receives same treatment as Danger then something needs to be done, some one needs to put his hand up and lay a massive shepperd or something.
I loved what Bernie did on the weekend to be honest, maybe Danger should of received 1 or 2 more free kicks but it was good to see that the game still has a bit of grunt in it.
Out: Knights
In : Lennon
there will be no other changes apart from Knights out.

Just waiting on Bo now to confirm it :shh

Deledio will be right. Give him another week or two.
Would love to see Cory Ellis or Lennon come in for Deledio. Likely Lennon methinks.

So RFCO is posting on PRE but not here - what happened to us?

Al Paton just proved himself the greatest dill in AFL journalism.

Word is lids will be out for around a month :-[

Speaking of the Dee's game, I'm going to be there (2nd game in 4 weeks after no games for 2 years) and will be going to the Social Club before the game to get some bloody benefit from my Maurice Rioli Club membership. Flick me a PM maybe if anyone is interested in catching up there before the game?

There after the game

It could be an interesting game of cat and mouse at selection this week as the Tigers consider an extra tall to stretch the Demons' backline, which is in form but now without Sam Frost (toe).
Ty Vickery returned from a knee injury in the VFL and kicked three goals, so he could return as a second ruckman and a third tall forward, giving Ivan Maric the support he needs and allowing in-form tall Ben Griffiths to stay in attack.
Ben Lennon, who was also among the best players with the VFL Tigers, shapes as the most likely replacement for luckless half-forward Chris Knights (hamstring). Lennon has been used across half-forward and half-back at different stages, giving him the versatility to come in and play the role required.
Vice-captain Brett Deledio (calf) is only a 50-50 chance to return after missing two matches.
